Its not like he lied to them, they knew exactly what he was going to do, he told them. And if he can't deliver, they'll never admit to themselves they were conned. People will drink the Kool-Aid before they'll admit to themselves they were made fools of. The nation is sliding into fascism, and the American people is more concerned about the price of eggs. As long as the average voter is concerned, all he really cares about is his SUV, the price of gas and the availability of pro sports. Everything else is just too booooooooring to worry about. As for future elections, they won't be canceled, they just will have guaranteed outcomes---like Russia, China, Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary, Belarus...need I go on? This is the future, we'd better get used to it. Remember, they actually voted this grotesque buffoon into office, fair and square.

I don't believe MAGA has the balls to try and cancel the 2028 election. That is just a bridge too far even for them. But I do think there's a very strong likelihood that should they lose they would absolutely try to overturn the results similar to 2020. I don't see the American people standing by and letting that happen. I can't see the majority of Americans submitting to such an atrocity. I know I won't. And trust me, I worry about it too.

The MAGA conservatives will maintain power, no matter how many vote against them. This is the final orgy of looting before the collapse. It no longer matters.

HE is crashing the economy and talking about a 3rd term because he no longer has to care about votes... he won't leave if he doesn't want to... and neither will the person that takes his place... There is no 'next time'. Fascism doesn't give you a do-over.

I'm going to sit it out for now. Trump will be gone in a few years (hopefully much sooner!) and I'm expecting the markets to bounce back once the orange idiot is gone.
